The new 150kWe CHP will provide the power needs for the hospital, while upgraded pumps, controls, LED lighting and improved insulation will see carbon emissions at the Trust reduced by around 1,700 tonnes a year. The funding has been secured from the Public Sector Decarbonisation Scheme, a £1 billion government initiative - supporting its commitment to bring all greenhouse gas emissions to net zero by 2050. Climate change poses a major threat to our health as well as our planet. The environment is changing, that change is accelerating and this has direct and immediate consequences for patients, the public and the NHS as a whole.
